Triode or Ultralinear mode


I have a Cary SLI-80 F1 which can run in triode or ultralinear mode. I have nough power in the triode mode, but find more excitement/energy in the ultralinear mode. What are other people doing? Is there something special in the triode mode that I am missing?

When switching between Triode and UltraLinear modes, do any of you speakers POP loudly ?  Mine does and the manufacturer says it's normal and pop-ing is dependent on speakers ! Not sure why... Regardless,  I worry about possible damage to speakers in the long term.

Same is true shutting down the integrated amp...  I first put it on standby mode for 2 minutes, then shut it down... POP !!!  and LOUD !
